She's right about their being a lack of "choice" among so-called pro-choicers and no respect for freedom of speech. As Ingraham kept pointing out, Planned Parenthood or NARAL are free to pay for ads too. If we are to really have "choice", what's the harm in trying to persuade women NOT to choose abortion? I despise FoF for other reasons but on this one I wish them the best. I caught the same part of Ingraham’s show you did, ILC.

She was talking about the Tebow controversy. One of her points was that a society in which *not* aborting is somehow controversial, is a society which has gone far, far down.

Though I have to admit that for years I was that most unattractive of pro-choicers - the foaming at the mouth "my body, my choice" type. I can't say what ultimately persuaded me to become pro-life, though getting knocked up at 30(and unmarrried, I was kind of a slut) and walking out of a clinic after seeing a couple with a "real" baby on their laps certainly helped. Now, as a mom of two, it is a very simple issue for me...life begins at conception, and you make your choice when you decide to have sex. Persuasive, no? ; ) Though I should state that I do not judge or condemn any woman who has an abortion...for the girls I know that have done it, it was a difficult decision and not done lightly. Oddly enough, the older and more conservative I get on the pro-life issue, the less conservative I get on gay marriage. Again, I find it simple - if two people who love each other want to create that stable social unit, I can only see a benefit to society. Ah, but for some of us the issue (abortion) is not so complex.

As the biology of homosexuality becomes more clear, I believe that there will be genetic markers which will allow parents to "choose" to abort children who might be born gay. I don't see how a gay person could not be pro-life given this situation.
